Also, I can't believe how many shitty ideas he had. It's astounding! and it's even more astounding how HORRIBLE they are!

He sounds like the Vince McMahon of the Sci-Fi world.

That shit with Han and Vader connected, or Boba Fett being Luke's mother, or Luke putting on the mask? The last one would have worked if the whole series was dark, but Lucas was right about that one, this is a kids movie, kind of.

And ending of Luke becoming the new Vader would have demanded a sequel.

I actually think the Darth Luke thing could have worked. I mean he definitely struggled with the dark side in Empire. Hell even feared becoming Vader, or at least as evil as him. I think they stuck with that up until the end given that Luke was in black robes for most of the movie. Then him defying Yoda and going to Cloud City in Empire....I don't know. I think there's definitely some basis.

I do agree with you though on the kids movie aspect though.

I just read a comment that explains my views of that ending perfectly.

Quote:

"The dark ending pitched has a lot to offer, but personally I think the ending to ROTJ is much truer to the previous two movies. While Luke becoming Vader has a certain "gotcha" dark appeal. The story of a son risking his life to redeem his all powerful but corrupted father is more compelling and delivers way more emotional punch than Luke turning heel. Plus, this ending would have capped off three movies and a story that took years to tell. It would have come off like a sucker punch to say, "Thanks for following this story for all these years, too bad at the end they were all screwed anyway!"

It would have been a cool ending, but I prefer the happier ending instead. It's not perfect, since only one Ewok died during the entire battle. It should have been reversed!
